I have so many books on the to-read pile that I have to read ten of them for each new book I buy. (Alternately, I can buy a new one for every ten I get rid of or give away -- there are some I know I'm not going to read, at this point.)

Exceptions: books I'm buying for a special purpose (for instance, books I might buy in order to get them signed at cons are okay), and new books in continuing series (you can bet I'll pick up the next Fullmetal Alchemist volume, or, if there is one, the next Discworld book).

But otherwise, moratorium until I read some of this.

Up next: review of The Hunger Games.

I am essentially banned from used bookstores for the foreseeable future and only allowed to get books if I have store credit from clearing out books, and/or if it's super cheap manga I'd be foolish to pass on. It's been going on for a few weeks now, and my backlog is still so big that I almost can't tell the difference.

Good luck with that project. I initiated a buying stop a few years ago, and now that I've cleared out a bunch and feel ready to let more books into my life I can't find the things I like inn bookstores, so my impulse buys are still hovering aroud the zero mark. I'm finally making inroads in the 'to read' pile.
